Driver (PC)

Advantages: fun, fast, thrilling
Disadvantages: none

...appear. As with GTA, Driver gives the player full freedom to go anywhere at anytime within the city boundaries. Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York have all been digitised with varying degrees of success, and at the very least you should be able to spot a host of landmarks in each one. The story involves an cop called Tanner (you) who goes undercover as a driver in the criminal underworld. You are given missions, from basic drops and ...
...And what gameplay it is. Driver is, initially, insanely addictive. Just messing about with the action-replay feature or the several different ?driving games? available from the options menu provides ample enjoyment, and the cities are big enough to make simply cruising around fun (although the cops, who attempt to ram into you without regard for the safety of themselves or others, make staying legal too strenuous). The look and feel of the game are ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable gameplay
Disadvantages: Bores to easily

A nice concept but very poorley executed. YOU can only stay in the one car which gets exceptionally boring. I feel that it was an attempt at a 1st person game Grand Theft Auto. But the plot just isnst right, the game runs very jittery on certain 3dfx cards and the game itself gets boring almost instantly. The sounds are also very predictable and unvaired, with very unrealistic worlds. To be perfectly honest there arent any plus sides to this game, ...
...a very limited output. The gameplay is monotonous more than anything else, being confined to one car, not just per level but per game means that after a certain amount of game play its like watching TV rather than playing the game you have so little effect on the game itself. I feel that all the complex 3d programming went to waste, the game itself is very high spec but just doesnt deliver. A bad game. ... Read review

Advantages: Novelly appealing initially
Disadvantages: Repetitive, no sense of progression or achievement, unchallenging

At first play this game is very good. There's a definite appeal to chasing around the backstreets following the hit car. Unfortunately the appeal is 100% novelty, and as soon as you've played the game a few times you're never likely to touch it again. I've had the game quite a while now, and I did enjoy the first game I had, but I quickly began to lose interest as the game is simply not challenging, offers no sense of achievement or progression, ...

Advantages: Graphics and Gameplay
Disadvantages: Could have more cars

...been centre of attention lately, Driver (£30). This is a really quality game for all of you that like a bit of speed, sound and graphics rolled to gather into a driving game. You can try you skills at getting way from these cops for the longest also racing. Drivers delivers the trills, spills and car chase action we've been waiting for and serves it all up with lashing of seventies funk. This game has the potential to be one of the best around. With ...

Advantages: great to play at any time
Disadvantages: You might get bored

Driver for the P.C. is a great game with life like graphics. The game play is also top notch with great control and best of all carnage mode which is a small game in which you ram the other cars and score points. It’s quite hard to do the start of the undercover mode which is the main game. Which you have to do tasks to help the bad guys and if you get the car bashed up too much you fail and there are also other ways of failing but I ain’t going ... Read review

Advantages: Relistic to the extreme

Advantages: Best racing game out on PC!
Disadvantages: none

...Toca Touring Cars 2 is a very good game. It has great graphics and realism. There are real life drivers and cars from which you can choose. I love the tracks and crashing. You can adjust the finer details in your car and can play in three different difficulty levels, which are set exactly right. It does get boring after a while, but this will be after a very long while. You can also play real life tournaments, which are very realistic. Overall, I find it one of the best car games out at the moment.... Read review

Advantages: Sparkling graphics; aggressive AI; terrific weather effects; good variety of cars and tracks
Disadvantages: Weak physics modeling; arcade-style championship progression

...a full VCR-style replay screen and a wide selection of viewing perspectives - including a cockpit view that animates all of the driver's arm motions ` la Grand Prix Legends. Eight licensed British road racing circuits have been included in the collection of tracks (there are also a handful of locked fictional tracks) and each has been rendered in impressive photorealistic detail. Turn on the remarkable weather effects and these venues are positively transformed, as driving rain beads off the windshield and lightning storms flash menacingly in the background. There isn't another racing game out there that even comes close to delivering this level of realism and immersion with its weather modeling. While the original TOCA was an impressive title in its own right, TOCA 2 advances the gameplay value of the franchise for racing fans of all... Read review
